Just got back from a wonderful Himalayan Trek - from Manali to Kalihin pass (15,750 Ft) and back to Manali (a different route on the way back). 8 days of challenging (mostly), fun trek with a great bunch of people, organised by the KMA (Karnataka Mountaineering Association) .
The initial plan was to trek all the way to the Kangra valley (Dharamshala), via Bara Bangal village and Thamser Pass, but our mules and horses could not cross over the snow fields on Kalihin. Hence the change of route. But this in no way diminished the enthusiasm of the group!
A few pics from the trek here. More details and Pics to follow....
The trail is essentially through Shepherd territory, and we came across sheep and their masters all through the 8 days...
